We have to restore the Floo network quickly, otherwise there are still a lot of Phoenix Society living together, and sooner or later something will happen, who knows what tricks this crazy girl Ginny can do, and maybe one day she steals an aphrodisiac and puts it in her dinner.

It's a bit of a mess, let's go see what Harry is up to.

――

As he reached the door of Harry's Auror office, he heard a quarrel coming from inside, and it seemed that Hermione was scolding Harry for not summarizing well.

When I opened the door, there were three young people together, two boys sitting on a couch, and Hermione sitting across from them, clutching a feather duster in her hand.

"Professor......

"Gildero. As soon as Hermione saw Lockhart, she immediately changed from a fried-haired lioness to a gentle little wife - and although she was now pampered, she never forgot to act like Lockhart's favorite well-behaved look.

"Hermione. Lockhart walked over to her and sat down and kissed her, "Looks like you like being someone else's teacher, do you want to go to a Muggle university in the Muggle world and come back to be a Muggle professor at Hogwarts?"

"Good advice, but it seems that you still have to learn the knowledge of high school on your own......" Hermione glared at the two boys angrily: "Let's wait for these two guys to get the Auror certificate first, I'll ask them to memorize the tips and precautions for me, Harry can't memorize it, forget it, and say something that he won't forget when he puts it into practice......"

"There is indeed this kind of person, you can't make him memorize, but he never makes a mistake when performing a task. Lockhart looked at Harry, "But all those who have this ability are senior Aurors, and I don't believe you have this talent......

"Uh......" Harry scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Whether it's or not, just pull it out and practice, let's go. Lockhart stood up and motioned for them to follow him. "Let's go to lunch, and after a little rest, see if the Savior really has what he says he is capable of. ”

――

They were back in London on the grounds of the Ministry of Magic. It was one o'clock in the afternoon, and all four of them had eaten and drunk enough.

"Okay, I'll test you for tracking today. Lockhart put his hand on Hermione's back and said, "Last time someone said I was bullying you, this time you can follow Hermione." You go and get ready, and I'll let Hermione go from here to meet me a few blocks away, and all you have to do is follow her to find me, but you can't let her find out. ”

"Okay, follow Hermione. It's simpler. Ron geared up again.

Harry also breathed a sigh of relief, "I think I've got a good grasp of the tracking part, so let's go get ready." ”

――

"Let them follow me?" Hermione was a little surprised, "but I can't even see their disguise!"

"It's easy, I'll teach you a few tricks. Lockhart smiled lightly: "Come on, go sit on the chair over there first, and I'll teach you how to reverse tracking." ”

Lohartra sat down on a bench by the side of the road with Hermione and pulled out a map, "See, this is where we are, and you'll be going to here later." I'll show you the walking route for you......"

"Hmm. ”

The two looked at the map, discussed the meeting, and determined the route.

"Let's start by telling you about some anti-tracking tactics that work even in the Muggle world. Lockhart sat in his chair and put his arm around Hermione's shoulders, and the two of them looked like a normal couple: "Normally." Someone like you, who doesn't have a special identity, won't be followed. But you're my wife now, and you're frowning so beautifully...... It's hard to guarantee that no one will have a crooked mind. ”

"Don't frown and frown, it's beautiful, okay, it's annoying!" Hermione frowned and slapped him.

"Good, good. Lockhart smiled and said, "But today is not the usual situation - you have determined that someone is following you, and the first premise of anti-tracking is already in place, then at least your next behavior will definitely not be suspicious." Instead, it has a clear purpose. ”

"Hmm. ”

"You've always had a good memory...... Then there is a vanity mirror - alas...... Why is your little bag always so heavy" Lockhart took the beaded bag in Hermione's hand, but his hand sank: "What did you put in - the makeup mirror flew in." ”

"I've got the essentials, tents, blankets, clothes, ......," Hermione explained, "to prevent emergencies." ”

"I have a heart. Lockhart took Hermione's vanity mirror out with a flying charm and held it in his hand: "From time to time, pick it up and look behind you, try to remember the faces of the people around you, and see if there are any familiar faces that keep appearing in your field of vision." In the same way, roadside windows, rearview mirrors, etc., can be used. ”

"Good. Hermione took the vanity mirror and put it in her jeans pocket.

"Also, you can stop in a crowded place and look back closely...... Because this is a follow-up course for them, not a test for you, and besides, Harry and Ron are unlikely to hurt you even if they are found out by you, so you can go back to these two people generously, even if you find them wrong. ”

Hermione nodded, "Then it has to be a little more normal, I'll take care of myself." ”

"When passing by this mall on the route, a few more turns can suddenly accelerate in a place where there are fewer people, and if they don't want to lose it, they are likely to be exposed. Lockhart said, pointing to a mall on the map. "Sometimes it's possible to get rid of stalkers with the help of transportation, but we didn't use it in our tests today. ”

"I know, I've read it in books, like suddenly getting on the bus...... Or deliberately running a red light and crossing the street or something. ”

"Well, the number of books I read is really different. These are all very simple and practical techniques, but you, as my wife, can't just deal with simple Muggle characters like this, so now teach you some of the methods that advanced wizards, especially the Aurors, use to counter-stalk. Lockhart smiled and became serious: "There are three more commonly used ones, the first is the most basic, apply a Muggle banishment charm and a confusion charm on yourself, and then scan the crowd - if someone looks up at you, then this guy is undoubtedly a wizard, and the key suspect is there." ”

"Well, I know that, you told me. ”

"Second, remember the route I just designed for you, passing through a few alleys, I'll put a Muggle expulsion spell in them, and if someone follows you as you walk through the alleys, even before you - it's undoubtedly a wizard. But if you're almost at the end of the alley and no one is coming up, they'll be waiting for you at the other end of the route. That way, as soon as you turn around, you can easily get rid of the stalker...... Of course, your goal today is not to get rid of Harry and Ron, but to catch them......," Lockhart said, "The principle tells you, how you play is your own business, you've always been a smart girl, haven't you?"

"Well, I'll figure it out. Hermione said confidently.

"Number three, you've learned the Transfiguration Charm so well that you can turn into an alley while you're walking, and instantly turn yourself into something - a garbage can, a chair or a shop window, something that is common on the side of the road and doesn't arouse suspicion. Then wait for them to pass by, but this one can only be implemented when you are in the blind spot of the other party's sight, so you can control the timing yourself, and remember to hide your breath. ”

"Got it, is that all?" Hermione asked, "it doesn't feel complicated." ”

"It's not complicated, really, but you have to understand that really good anti-tracking is a combination of a lot of simple tricks that come together into a 'hybrid technique', and different combinations can give rise to a myriad of surprising anti-tracking methods. In reality, however, the Aurors only had to master the art of counter-stalking, not to assess it, because very few dark wizards dared to follow the Aurors. Dark wizards are a very broad definition, the most vicious such as Voldemort and his Death Eaters, to the lesser ones such as Mundungus, who uses magic to eat and drink, steal something, cheat beautiful Muggle women or something, and the most harmless: some of the staff of the Ministry of Magic who are responsible for registering wizards, and even wizards who are not registered with the Ministry of Magic are called dark wizards. Lockhart said solemnly: "No matter what kind of dark wizard it is, they all know the power of the Aurors, this is the reputation of countless excellent predecessors like Mad Eye and Scrimgeour, if the dark wizards want to deal with the Aurors, they will not look for weaknesses in the Aurors, no one likes to challenge the Aurors head-on." Trying to find a weakness in a duel, a penchant for spells, or stalking an Auror in the Aurors is extremely stupid. And killing an Auror and making him a martyr is a deterrent to ordinary wizards, but a provocation to other Aurors...... It often leads to a frenzied revenge - which most Auror directors acquiesce. ”

The Death Eaters killed Moody, took off his prosthetic eye, and showed off the feat to the entire British wizarding community, discouraging many of the resistance forces from making any more moves, but instead killing several of Moody's colleagues, especially Lockhart...... Forced to become the White Devil.

But if the Death Eaters had captured Lockhart's parents or Hermione, even the White Lord could be vulnerable. ”

――

Hermione always made sense: "I understand, that's why the twelfth rule of the Aurors is important, the dark wizard will start with the Aurors' family!"

"That's right, if someone wants to deal with me, they just need to know that I love you the most, and then find out your information...... If you can't deal with it, get your parents, your girlfriends, and if we have children, then children are the best targets to deal with. If a soft-hearted person like you had a child, he would be willing to do anything for him, even to death. ”

"What then?" Hermione's tone grew panicked, as if her child had been kidnapped.

"I will kill all the threats to you or my family, cut down the grass and root it, and leave no one behind. Lockhart stroked Hermione's hair tenderly, but said something that made her creep. "For the sake of the people I love, I do not hesitate to be the enemy of the world. ”
